Some unused textures have been found on the game's disc, portraying [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[bomb-rock]]s. This hints to the fact that, initially, all Pikmin types were designed to carry bomb-rocks. | Some unused textures have been found on the game's disc, portraying [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[bomb-rock]]s.

This, in turn, translates to "antlion". As its name and appearance indicate, it would have flown, though not much else is known about it. It has only one animation, which is it straightening out from its t-pose and flying upwards. The surprisingly developed parameters for this enemy suggests that it was last developed around the same time as Iwagen. Interestingly, these same parameters suggest it would have been tied for the highest [[Health|HP]] of any enemy (at 5000 HP) and supposedly would have spawned Smoky Proggs. However, it is possible that the enemy in Smoky Progg's position changed during development, so the latter fact cannot be confirmed. | ||
Attempting to spawn Usuba by normal methods crashes the game, as major parts of its code and assets are missing. A few of its functions still exist, though. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-3X1O5XCOk&t=0s This video] shows a modification that hotwires the leftover functions to the Smoky Progg's egg, allowing a remnant of its AI to be seen: Usuba simply flies directly upwards. | Attempting to spawn Usuba by normal methods crashes the game, as major parts of its code and assets are missing.

'''Kingback''' is the internal name for an unused boss. This enemy is simply the "back" of the [[Emperor Bulblax]] without the lower body. It does nothing if touched/attacked by Olimar or the Pikmin, and simply pushes back any objects if touched. | '''Kingback''' is the internal name for an unused boss.

*When a Pikmin is [[throw|held]], its throw height is decided to be at a certain level. Holding the Pikmin for a while increases this value, and the increase stops more or less when the Pikmin's noise ends. However, in the game files, the starting value and the ending value are exactly the same, so this feature has absolutely no impact in the final game. ''Pikmin 2'' has the same parameters, but the code to change the value is gone. | *When a Pikmin is [[throw|held]], its throw height is decided to be at a certain level.
